I collect gold fingers in the heavens
Chapter 884
Chapter 883
imperial capital.
On the Golden Palace.
The emperor is calling a group of ministers to discuss the affairs of Changling Town.
Time has passed so long.
No matter how backward the ancient communications were, no matter how closed the information was, the imperial court finally received the news.
"Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi have been completely annihilated, and were wiped out by the No. [-] pawnshop shopkeeper Shi Xianfa."
"Cihang Pudu is actually a thousand-year-old centipede spirit whose whereabouts are unknown!"
"It is said that the shopkeeper of the No. [-] pawnshop is an immortal descended from the world."
"..."
"Many Qing families, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his face not very good-looking.
Because of his obsession with cultivation these years, he has not been in court for a long time, but due to the existence of the secret service, his control over the court is still there, and his prestige is still there. He looked around majestically and said calmly.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court are not like in the movie at this time, their flesh and blood have been sucked dry by Cihang Pudu, leaving only their skins, and they are still alive with flesh and blood.
They could hear the suppressed anger in the emperor's tone, and they all kept silent.
The emperor's eyes swept over the old faces of several ministers.
These ministers lowered their heads, as if they didn't feel the emperor's gaze, they still stood where they were.
The emperor was furious immediately, and he said, "Are all my ministers short-sighted?"
"Cihang Pudu, this monster, has been in and out of the imperial court for so long, and no one has noticed the abnormality?"
"The servants of the National Teacher's Mansion disappear every month and month, so you haven't found it?"
"..."
The emperor spouted non-stop.
The civil and military officials knelt down in fear, but still no one dared to stand up as the leader and answer the words.
They slandered in their hearts, those loyal ministers who sensed something was wrong and reported to you, you had long ago been imprisoned, or you ransacked their homes and beheaded them all, who would dare to say a word?The last minister who dared to bluntly say that Cihang can save the country from chaos is called Fu Tianchou, and you have already demoted him to a local place!
................................................
The emperor scolded for a long time, and saw that the civil and military officials below only knew to say forgiveness, but they didn't say anything from the truth, and didn't say anything if they had suggestions.
He is also tired.
After being silent for a while, he said wearily, "Then let's discuss, what title should be conferred on this mysterious Immortal Di in Changling Town?"
Civil and military officials stared blankly at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
However, in the depths of the eyes of some officials, there was a flash of contempt, and—as expected.
Emperor, are you really going to lick these practitioners again?
Although some officials were disdainful, they still joined the discussion team for the sake of "harmony with light and dust", discussing what kind of person Changling Town, who destroyed the imperial army and exposed the status of the national teacher, should get So that the emperor can please the living immortal, so that the living immortal can treat him "the immortal caresses my head, and we will live forever".
It can be said that the emperor's pursuit of cultivation and immortality has gone deep into his bones.
Jiangshan Sheji is not important, what is important is that he can live forever!
Huainan King, who once rose from his house, is his idol!
This has reached a state of obsession.
Anyone who can make him live forever, or coax him to live forever, will receive endless rewards and trust from the emperor.
Like the previous Cihang Pudu, this is how he gained his trust.
The emperor believed that he would use all his strength to worship Wu Siyuan, give him endless honors, and satisfy all his requirements, so that Wu Siyuan would see his sincerity, and then...hehehe...
Therefore, several titles proposed by civil and military officials were ruthlessly rejected by the emperor.
Because he thought that the title they came up with could not represent his sincerity.
Seeing that all the officials couldn't comprehend, or deliberately couldn't comprehend his meaning, the emperor had no choice but to take the initiative to step down, reminding him, "This is a living immortal, a real immortal..."
I don't know if it's a real immortal, but the emperor's meaning is known to all the officials.
The civil and military officials understood at once, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites seemed to have been given the title of emperor multiple times at once.
Although the emperor didn't say anything, the faint smile on the corner of his mouth already showed his attitude.
In the ideology of the imperial period, the monarch fulfilled the mandate of heaven and governed the world as the "son of heaven". His power not only included ruling the people, but also presided over sacrifices and canonized gods.
If the gods are blessed to human beings, the [Son of Heaven] can be canonized, their status is respected, and their sacrificial standards are raised, so as to achieve the purpose of [repaying virtue and meritorious deeds].
In this case, the emperor has supreme authority, and any god can be canonized, revoked, and replaced.
The non-virtuous and holy gods canonized by the previous dynasty can be cancelled, and the most virtuous and holy gods can replace the priesthood with other gods under special circumstances.
What didn’t exist in the past was not the highest level of gods. The emperor can seal it as he pleases, but he can’t seal too many, otherwise he will become a god of Mao. Just like a country, he can print paper money at will, but not too many. It must be in line with the actual economic situation. If not, hyperinflation will come.In the same way, if there are more hair gods, the inflation of gods will come. Like Japan, where the farts are bigger, there are so-called eight hundred gods. It is true that people and ghosts are all gods.
Of course, there is no limit to the emperor's conferring of gods, ordinary gods are fine, but it is not so easy for the emperor to confer the highest level or close to the highest level of gods.
Only when the emperor's authority is high enough, or combined with the right time, place and people, or the gradual promotion of several generations of emperors, can it be canonized.
For example, the Qin State gradually praised the Four Emperors, Liu Bang named the Black Emperor, Liu Che named the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Song Dynasty promoted it until Song Huizong named the Jade Emperor, and the Ming Dynasty promoted the Zhenwu Emperor and so on.
According to [Yiding World], if a country seals those practitioners as officials, their luck will be sucked away.
Let alone conferring gods.
Fengshen also spends a lot of luck.
If there is too much expenditure on luck, the country will be unstable. Like the Qin Dynasty, the death of the second generation is also possible.
Song Huizong named the Jade Emperor, which directly led to the disaster of Jingkang.
This is the embodiment of moral incompatibility!
In fact, in reality, after the emperor canonizes a god, there must be corresponding sacrifices.
The higher the level of the god, the greater the sacrifice.
And not only the imperial court sacrifices, but also the folks.
This kind of sacrifice is not a small burden for ordinary people.
Over time, it will reduce the strength of the country.
Of course, enshrining gods is also good for a country, but this is another matter.
.................................................................................................................................
Emperor Jiajing's prestige was not as great as Taizu's.
Taizu was able to determine the belief of the city god.
However, Emperor Jiajing wanted to canonize a god of the emperor level, and it was still a god who had no footsteps. The difficulty was actually not small.
This is not something that can be solved by an imperial decree, but whether it can be implemented throughout the country and form the belief in the hearts of the people.
Emperor Jiajing did not have this ability.
But no matter what, he had to make this attitude first. He didn't show it to the world, but to show it to the immortal in Changling Town.
